"My daughter, who is very fair redhead, gave me this cream, saying she thought her skin was too sensitive for it. I also have sensitive skin and at almost age 60, I find also have to be very careful with the products I use on my face. Although, I am not a fair redhead, I have always had sensitive skin, and this product has not irritated my face at all. I feel it has actually improved my skin, with less breakouts, and has calmed down redness and even my husband has noticed an improved overall look. less"

Placer County officials are advising the public to take precautions to protect themselves and their families from unusually cold temperatures expected Wednesday and Thursday nights.
The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning for Wednesday night, saying temperatures could drop to the upper teens in the foothills and the lower 20s in valley regions. The freeze warning is schedule to last until 10 a.m. Thursday. A freeze watch will remain in effect from late Thursday night through Friday morning.
In Placer County, the main resource for homeless residents and others who need shelter is The Gathering Inn, a faith-based organization that operates nomadic shelters throughout the year in Placer County
Suzi deFosset, The Gathering Inn's executive director, reported that her organization opened two shelters last night because of the unusually cold weather. A total of 67 people stayed at the shelters overnight.
She reported only one shelter is scheduled to be open tonight, because last night's turnout was only seven people more than normal and traditionally some homeless residents spend the Thanksgiving holiday at the homes of family members.
DeFosset noted that agencies such the Placer County Sheriff's Department, other local law enforcement agencies, county Mental Health Services and the county's Adult System of Care pay special attention to the shelter needs of the homeless and others during unusually cold weather and often refer them to the Gathering Inn.
For more information, contact The Gathering Inn at 916-791-9355.
"The public needs to be aware of the dangers of extremely cold weather and take necessary steps to stay warm and safe," said Dr. Jim Gandley, assistant director of the Placer County Health and Human Services Department.
He urged residents to look out after family members, friends and neighbors who are medically fragile, elderly or ill
1. Make sure you and your family are prepared.
2) Dress for the weather.
3) Travel with caution.
4) Recognize symptoms of exposure.

Layton >Optical Goods > Standard Optical Co.
1076 Layton Hills Mall, Layton, UT | Directions 8404141.077900 -111.975801
The customer service was good 99% of the time. Unfortunately, the end products (2 pairs of glasses) were horrible. It took 3-1/2 & 4 weeks for the glasses to be delivered. Then they were delivered separately requiring two trips to the store.. Each time, there were problems with the glasses. The no line bifocals were completely incorrect. The paper I was asked to read with the new glasses would not come into focus regardless of positioning. I've worn no-line bifocals for 5 years and understand their use. It took some discussion before it was acknowledged that the bifocals were not placed correctly. They finally determined the glasses needed to be re-manufactured. I asked for a refund on the glasses ($918) but was told that Standard Optical has a no refund policy. I pointed out that it had been 4 weeks and the error was theirs. Another week into the process and they finally conceded to refund $150 but no more. and the glasses would be sent back to the manufacturer. The new timeline is now approaching 8 weeks. Between repeated trips into the store, the phone calls and the unsatisfactory results, I'm not a happy camper.
UPDATE: The re-manufactured glasses were still incorrect. A re-examination was scheduled but it was 10 days later before an evening appointment was available. Before the scheduled re-examination I contacted Standard Optical Home Office in SLC and left a voice message. A call was received the next day from the store in Layton stating that a full refund would be issued. Everyone was very courteous when I returned for the refund. This story began on July 26 and closed on September 24.
Confident in services and product – This will be the third time I've purchased from Standard Optical in the Layton Hills Mall. Every time I have been received in a short amount of time, the receptionists have been more than helpful, and transfer of prescriptions to and from the store have gone smoothly. Dr. Purdy has been more than accommodating and was very clear about the procedures he was performing as well as telling me in plain terms what I can expect from my eyes in the future. Although he recommended contact lenses that were a little more expensive than I wanted to pay, he was more than happy to work with WalMart/1800contacts in order to get me into lenses that fit my budget.
Now, although I have appreciated the service, I have noted that their frame prices aren't upfront - everything is coded as a 'dot' or 'star'. I was given a list, however, to reference the frames, and the receptionists were more than helpful in determining which ones were right for me (even mentioning in a kind way that certain frames just didn't look good on me - which I requested). Also, although the frames weren't the most inexpensive things in the world, the receptionists were very informative on deals they had, and I was able to secure two complete pairs (with polycarbonate lenses) for about 160 each. Killer deal, if you ask me.
I would absolutely recommend checking this location out.
Standard Optical Violates Utah Optometry Practice Act – I (L.G.Hill) had an eye exam at Standard Optical in April of 2010. They wrote me two prescriptions, one for clear contacts and one for colored contacts. In July 2011 I attempted to order contacts from another supplier and when Standard Optical was contacted they refused to provide my prescription, saying it was expired. The other supplier called them back and informed them that according to Utah Law contact lens prescriptions are valid for two years, unless documented medical reasons require otherwise. Standard Optical then provided the prescription for clear contact lenses. I informed the other supplier that I wanted the prescription for the colored contact lenses. They called Standard Optical a third time and they refused to supply the prescription for the colored lenses. I called Standard Optical myself and requested the prescription and they refused my request as well. I then obtained a copy of the Utah Optometry Practice Act from the website of the Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing and took it in to Standard Optical. They still refused to provide me with a copy of my prescription. I requested that they show me the "documented medical reasons" in my file for why they would not provide the prescription. They gave me a copy of my examination record which did not document any medical reason why my prescription would not be valid for two years. I sent the copy of my examination records (which included the two prescriptions) to the other contact lens supplier and they were in the process of filling my order on August 25th, 2011, when Standard Optical faxed them a notice that said my prescription was expired because I had not had an annual examination. Standard Optical is in violation of the Utah Optometry Practice Act because they refused to provide me with a copy of my prescription (which according to Utah law did not expire for another nine months) and there are no documented medical reasons that would require the prescription expire prior to the two years specified by Utah law.
Horrible Customer Service – I don't know why I got stuck with this guy but in my experience his integrity is crap I ordered glasses in Dec and I'm still waiting go some place else and do yourself a favor i'm sure other people in there are cool but its worth not going if your giong to get stuck dealing with this guy LAME!!!

The original 1960 Batmobile sells for 4.2 Million Dollar
The original Batmobile featured in the 1960s Batman TV series has been sold for .2million (£2.6m). The 19ft black Batmobile was brought by Rick Champagne, a businessman and car collector from Phoenix, at a Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. Hollywood car customiser George Barris transformed a 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car, brought for , into the crime-fighting machine. The iconic vehicle features Batman gadgets such as a Batphone, lasers and an oil squirter made from from lawn sprinklers. It was made in just 15 days in 1966 and cost 000 (£9455) to build. The Batmobile has been kept in Barris' personal collection since it was used by Adam West, who played Batman, and by Burt Ward, who starred as his sidekick Robin. Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson, said: 'The Batmobile is true Americana and it's hard to put a dollar figure on something like that. 'The difference is that this is the real deal, the original and the only one to have been on the Batman series — it's been in George Barris' garage for all these years and that is invaluable. 'This vehicle not only marks the significant Bat logo that sits on the middle of its door, but a time in television history where they defied the odds of making a car the real star of the show.' The Batmobile's price ties with the record set by Goldfinger's Aston Martin DB5 driven by Sean Connery, which was auctioned off in 2010.

12 Chisholm Trail Rd, Round Rock, TX | Directions 7868130.517102 -97.690617
Mon-Thurs 11-8, Fri 11-7, Sat 10-6
A great experience – First, I'm not a professional musician. Even though I'm not, and therefore not a steady stream of income, these folks took care of my needs right away. I called ahead and was informed they were busy at the moment but I could leave my daughters guitair and pick it up later. When I arrived, it was not as hectic as earlier and they fixed it up within the hour. That is GREAT customer service. I could not be happier. The cost seemed to be very reasonable too. Thanks to the team at Danny Ray's for excellent customer service.
This is the Best Alternative to the Big Box Retailer – I had the best experience I have ever had at a music store at Danny Ray's Music.
They have the largest selection and if they don't have it in stock they will get it.
Marshall, Orange Amps, Fender, Martin, Breedlove, Behrenger, Takamine, Yamaha and Epiphone you name it they have it.
David and Ray the sales people are the most Knowledgeble in the Business.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?? WTF?? – I went to this "music store" today and I've never been more insulted, disgusted, and offended in MY ENTIRE LIFE.
This "manager" or "owner" was VERY unhelpful and just plainly uncaring. If you believe that's all I have to say then you should be surprised then to know that the white customer who "it", the owner, was speaking with, he doesn't have a soul by the way, was having a great time with this creature and then he showed him off with a "come by anytime any day". OH but not ME. Not this half white and half Native-American person. He not only ignored me but didn't even bother trying to provide information about the products. Then after me trying to see what some of their products sounded like to see what instrument I would purchase next for my collection I was stopped short by "it", the owner, and told that if I wasn't going to buy anything RIGHT NOW I need to leave.(RACIST)
...hah....my ENTIRE FAMILY IS MADE OF VETERANS THAT FOUGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY!!!!
This creature is disgusting. I seriously was about to beat this loser across the head with the bass guitar in my hand but I didn't want to sink to "it's" level so I just left and here I am completely amazed this bastard actually has a job with "it's" racist attitude.
I am reporting this shop to the better business bureau and I'm hoping they will put him, I mean "it", on the street and destroy "it's" music business. This was just sad and extremely pathetic. I'm a Christian and it's sad because I wish this thing would burn in hell for hating based on color.
Can't find a nicer bunch of folks – Great selection of musical instruments, amps and some accessories. Good prices, not a lot of wanna-be's playing guitar at 10 while your trying to shop, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Not a lot of sound reinforcement stuff or accessories (pedal boards, for example) but that's probably because of the store's size. I understand there is a new location being planned that will be much larger and no doubt will have more of that stuff.
Danny Ellis - owner is not a person of his word! – I called Danny Ellis, owner of Dan Rays Music to ask him the price of a keyboard I wanted to buy and he told me $237.00 because he said it was on sale. I live quite a distance from his store, but went to pick up the keyboard because it was such a good deal. When I got there, Danny looked at the price on the keyboard he had on display and quickly exclaimed, "Oh dear, I think I made a mistake. Do you remember how much I told you was the price of this keyboard?" I said, "Of course......$237.00." He said, "I can't sell it for that price. I don't know what I was thinking." He then told me the correct price would be $330.00. I could not believe what he was saying. As a person of integrity, he should have honored what he told me on the phone. He left me with such a DISGUSTING feeling regarding his character that I will never go there again and never recommend him to anyone I know.
This was an honest mistake. I apologized for my error and offered to sell the keyboard at my cost and even showed her what that was, which by far beat any other price being offered at other stores.
Great music store and repair shop – This store should be "your" music store if you live anywhere near it. It has a great selection of instruments and accessories, plus a great in-house repair shop. They will treat you right and you will always get quality in every aspect as any small shop owned and operated by the owner. Their survival depends on you loving this place and they deliver. Also they are very aware of large corp. competitors prices and they price the same or very, very close to it. Support the locals and make this your music store.
Best Music Store in Round Rock – I was very glad to see a music store the caliber of Danny Ray's come into Round Rock. Not only do they have a fantastic selection of Fender and Martin products, but they are very nice and a pleasure to do business with. I got a great deal on a Fender Telecaster and I plan to make several more purchases there in the near future.
I recommend them highly to all my music business friends. Great store, great selection, great to do business with.

Dementia in Head Injury (cont.)
Persons with head injury may require medication to treat symptoms such as depression, mania, psychosis, aggression, irritability, mood swings, insomnia, apathy, or impaired concentration. Headaches may also get better with drug treatment.
Drugs used to treat such symptoms are called psychotropic or psychoactive drugs. They work by changing the way the brain works. Head-injured persons are more sensitive to drug side effects. Doses and schedules may require frequent adjustment until the best regimen is found.
Most people with dementia due to head injury are treated with the same drugs used to treat dementia of other causes. In many cases, these drugs have not been specifically tested in persons with head injury. There are no established guidelines on psychotropic drug treatment after head injury.
Dopaminergic agents
Antipsychotic agents
Antiepileptic drugs
Mood stabilizers

Traumatic brain injury can lead to deficits in 5 general areas: (1) short-term memory impairment, (2) slowed processing speed, (3) impaired executive function, (4) disrupted abilities of attention and concentration (which likely contributes to the deficits noted in the first 3 categories), and (5) emotional dysregulation.

Angel Pack LX Organic Soft Structured Baby Carrier (Chocolate Sherbert)
" I bought my angel pack about 4 years ago. The price tag may sound a bit steep but for a product that continue to use and reuse I think it has more then paid for itself. With my first child we purchased a popular brand and model and after about 3-6months we gave it away and only used it maybe 2-3 times. It was bulky, complicated and uncomfortable. The angel pack was a..." --eclipsegrafx

"I am the luckiest person I know," Sallie Krawcheck '92 said at an event in New York on February 4, 2010. Krawcheck, who is the president of Global Wealth & Investment Management at Bank of America, spoke at a presentation hosted by Columbia Business School and the Women's Executive Circle of New York on findings from the 2009 New York Census. Professor Ann Bartel presented the data, which revealed that fewer than 11 percent of executive officers in New York are women (see related post).
"Don't wait for a company to put an initiative in place," Krawcheck told the women in the audience about moving forward in their organizations. "Take ownership of your career. Have conversations about money. Be self-aware and very honest with yourself about your strengths and weaknesses. When you ask for feedback, make sure you get it and then don't push it away, even if it's hard to take."
Her advice for women early on in their careers is to take speech lessons, so that they exude confidence in their speaking. Another key to success, she said, is to know what to worry — and not to worry — about.
"My mantra is 'Water off a duck's back,'" she said. "Don't focus on what you can't control but on what you can, like your own behavior."
Responding to a question from the audience about leadership in tough times, Krawcheck said it was important for leaders to skew toward optimism.
"People want to work with someone who is open; it's about leading and interacting with the people who work for you," she said. "Make them feel included and respected. It's okay as a leader to show that you don't always know all the answers."

The Australorp was developed as a utility breed in Australia in the 1920s from the Black Orpington primarily for egg production rather than for its meat. The name originates from the club which was founded for them, The Austral Orpington Club. They are excellent layers of tinted eggs and hold the world record for egg production as a hen of the breed laid 364 eggs in 365 days! They are smaller and neater than Orpingtons but still have a lot of meat on them. The feathers of the black birds have a wonderful beetle-green sheen and they have a prominent dark eye. Their comb is single and evenly serrated while their earlobes are red as are their medium length wattles. Their black legs are strong and free from feathers and they have 4 toes.
The Australorp is an active breed and they are fast growers with hens reaching point of lay at around five months of age. They are amazingly productive and are not prone to broodiness. They make good pets as they are calm and friendly birds although they are a little heavy for children to pick up. There is a ¼ sized bantam version though which would be much more suitable for children to keep as pets. They will happily live in runs but they do enjoy being allowed to free range. They aren't good fliers so fencing doesn't need to be particularly high. They are also very hardy and will stand cold weather well. An Australorp cock will weigh in at around 8½ lbs while the hens tend to be in the region of 6½lbs.
There are two colours the black which has feathers with a lustrous green sheen and the blue whose feathers are slate blue feathers with darker lacing.
Fairly common
I would recommend this breed because they lay over 300 eggs a year and they make good quality meat
I have two beautiful girls, Rosie and Pineapple and Colin our cockerel. They are lovely big birds and real characters, especially Rosie. The smallest, but no means small, she loves to roam around and regularly escapes. She has now worked out where the food is kept and knows that at 5pm it's corn time so she wanders up the garden fearless of the dogs turning up to wait for me by the door to the food shed! She then sits on my lap for a stroke and eat some corn before running back alongside me to the run where the others wait. Colin is a great defender and when the girls got into the main garden with the dogs, he flew over the 3ft fence to their defence! Luckily know one was harmed, although I'm not sure left to their own devices who would have one out as Colin's has talons an eagle would be proud of! Pick him up for a cuddle though and he is a big softie. We are hoping to have chicks this year and extend our little brood. The eggs taste amazing with large orange yolks yummm...
I had four Black Ausralorps foxes or cyotes got three of them. I now lock her up wirh one other hen (breed unkown). The remaining hen has only layed about 6 eggs in the past three months and 3 of them were soft shelled. Their eggs were large brown eggs but the hens have a tendoncy to law thier eggs on the ground instesd of nesting and I have found broken eggs in the morning that were droped from the perch. I would guess that when I had four Australorps hens I got about 20 to 24 eggs a week. Australorps are Black and pretty, she's a large bird, they are not a friendly bird but you can walk around the pen they just keep thier distance. When I let her have free range I can herd her quit easly to the pen. I plan to get three or four within the next week or two and try again.
They are amzing pets. Got four for my friend's bday and she simply adores them

And, more generally, why must you always (in this case, at least) blame the woman for this?
It would be like me killing the neighbor because he was hired to fill my job after I worked so hard to learn it.
That's… Not like it. At all.

Hmm, valid point: for a series that prides itself on its cinematic qualities, the ME2 ending sequence was singularly un-movie-like.
Hopefully ME3 will feature a properly inspiring ending when Shepard's fleets crush the Reapers once and for all. Something like Shepard limping out of the wreckage or at least Normandy leading the charge against Sovereign. That whole sequence in ME1 was plain awesome the frst time through and still a delight the sixth time.
ME3 needs a really "holy crap" moment at the climax.

Athens (Piraeus) Overview
On your very first visit to Athens, you'll discover that this ancient seat of world culture has quite the new spring in its step; credit its fresh, bouncing vibe to its center-of-the-universe role as host of the 2004 Summer Olympics. Sure, a few years have gone by since then but the reverberations are still felt (and will be, we surmise, for a very, very long time to come). In a decade's worth of preparation for hosting the Olympics, city fathers (and mothers, too) spearheaded massive upgrades, repairs and refurbishments. Buildings that were once dingy dirty gray are being painted in cheerful shades of yellow, green and orange. Public squares have been pedestrianized (you won't recognize the now lovely Syntagma Square, with its lush trees and peaceful spots for repose; traffic used to course through this space). Sidewalks have been repaved and are now quite walkable (still narrow, though), and concrete stripping was inserted to assist the physically disabled.
There are new roads, the subways and trains are near-spotless, classic hotels like the Bretagne got major facelifts, and cafes are flourishing throughout the city. There are swank new digs for designer ateliers, ranging from Hermes to Dolce and Gabbana, in what recently were decrepit old buildings. And the arts and crafts scene is flourishing with fabulous original, largely Greek-owned boutiques and galleries.
But here's the thing that put joy in my step on a recent visit there (my first since the pre-Olympic era): In all its general zest for improvements, Athens has managed to retain the soul of its ancient heritage. It has held onto classic treasures, from antiquities to its Victorian-era food market. All are worth exploring.
The Grecian capital city has long been known for its role in the 5th and 4th centuries B.C. as the seat of the world's art, culture and history, and so much of it is here, on display. This era is called the golden age, and the city's general spiffing up has included such storied monuments as the Acropolis, the Parthenon, the temple of Athena Nike and the Odeon of Herod Atticus, along with the very significant museums housing so many pieces of Athens' golden age. This idyllic time didn't last forever -- the Roman Empire gobbled the city up in 146 -- but no matter, now. The city, one of the world's most fascinating in both a historic and contemporary context, offers a marvelous opportunity to walk in the footsteps of ancient Grecian legends, while at the same time celebrating what, despite normal urban stresses, reflects a modern city with a sense of soul.
And lest you think that Athens is some kind of museum to ancient Greece, well, it's more than that. There is much history of the more recent era, which began when Greece became independent from the Turks in 1829. It has developed in spurts and starts ever since.

For More Information
"It's all Greek to me" is no cliche here! Though there's a fair amount of English spoken in Athens, it's a good idea to brush up on your pantomime skills before setting out.
Editor's note
: When entering shops and restaurants, it's considered polite to say "kalimera" (kal-ee-meh-ra) for good morning, "kalispera" (kal-ee-speh-ra) for when it's not morning, and "efharisto" (ef-har-is-to) for thank you. For emergencies, the 24-hour toll-free number for English assistance is 112.
Currency & Best Way to Get Money
The national currency in Greece is the euro. ATM's are found everywhere, though currency exchange can be made in most banks and exchange establishments. Travelers' checks should be exchanged at banks or exchange establishments since very few businesses will accept them.
In Athens, a sales tax of 19 percent (VAT) is tacked on to almost every purchase; however, if you spend 117 euros or more at participating stores, you can get the VAT refunded (with some exceptions).
Editor's Note
: Many ATM's in Greece require a PIN to be only four digits long, so plan ahead. Also, many European ATM's display only numerals on the keypad. For pin codes that include letters, commit to memory or jot down the translation to numbers.
Where You're Docked
Cruise ships dock at the Port of Piraeus, about seven miles from Athens. An important port since antiquity, it's actually made up of three harbors: Megas Limani, where cruise ships come in; Zea Limani, where most of the ferries and hydrofoils come in from the islands; and Mikrolimano for the yachts.
Hanging Around
The harbor is located right in the center of Piraeus, and frankly, the port-weary traveler will find plenty of low-key diversions. There are shops, some upscale boutiques and some offshoots of chains like Britain's Marks and Spencer. The Archaeological Museum of Piraeus is home to a collection of sculptured grave monuments and dedicatory reliefs from the 5th and 4th centuries B.C. and pottery from excavations in Piraeus, Salamis, Hellenistic, and neo-Attic relief plaques from a shipwreck from 2nd century A.C. One of its most important pieces is a bronze statue of Apollo from the 6th century B.C. (31, Ch. Trikoupi).
There are plenty of tavernas -- and here's a tip: the further from the harbor you get, the better they are. Try some of the cafes along Demosthenous. Locals rave about Varoulko (dinner only) at 14, Deligeorgi, going so far as to say it's the best seafood in all of Athens. It must be, because he's the only chef in town with a Michelin star. For another fun excursion head for Mikrolimano "Little Harbor" -- a charming crescent of a marina lined with waterfront seafood shacks; totally great atmosphere, but beware: Taxi drivers are paid a commission to direct you to particular restaurants where they then charge you exorbitant prices. Two restaurants we've heard fair pricing and good food reports about are Fish Taverna Botsaris and Argos.
: Make sure you know prices before ordering at tavernas near the harbor. If the check seems high, insist on a receipt, or at worse, phone the tourist police at 171 (actually, they serve as interpreters who will help you with just about anything you need).
Getting Around
The best way from Piraeus to the center of Athens is to take a quick taxi ride to the train station at Piraeus (about 5 euros, max). The station operates on the green line; take it to Monastiraki, then change to Syntagma (the blue line). Cost is about 70 cents (euro). It takes about the same amount of time as if you cabbed it in. A key tip: when using mass transit, you must validate your ticket in the orange canceling machines. Keep your ticket until you reach your destination, as inspectors at random check that you have it. They are strict about fining offenders, including tourists. Driving in Athens is not recommended unless you have nerves of steel.
Otherwise, if you opt for taxi transport, prepare to be fleeced ... unless of course you are, um, prepared. While taxi fares are posted at the port terminal (by destination they range from about eight to 12 euros into various points in Athens), the ever-so-charming drivers will try to convince you that the fares are per person (they're not!). Coming back to Piraeus from Athens (we were in Syntagma Square), the driver tried to tell me the fare was a flat 35 euros (admittedly it was rush hour but I'm not an idiot -- Piraeus is just seven miles away). I protested, cited the price stated at the terminal, and he balked, I picked up my cell phone and told him I'd have to check ... and he "all of a sudden" became more agreeable and proposed a fare of 15 euros. That seemed fair and, believe it or not, he wanted to shake hands on it (and so we did)!
: If there's no meter, keep your cell phone handy; my service gave me a number (1404) to call with questions. If there is a meter, make sure that the number one vs. number two is what shows up (#2 is for post-midnight, double-the-fare trips; if you're traveling any other time you should not pay this).
Editor's strong hint
: Keep your cell phone handy and do not hesitate to call the numbers we've provided if you feel something is amiss. Better yet, do it in front of the taxi driver.... Also, taxis operate unofficially on the jitney system, indicating willingness to pick up others by blinking their headlights or simply slowing down. You'll need to shout out your destination as the driver cruises by (or others may shout out a direct destination and you will wind up sharing a cab). And one more thing: Locals don't tip drivers, but do round up to the next convenient euro. Once you're in Athens, you'll find it a wonderfully walk-able city.
Watch Out For
In Athens and Piraeus particularly, purse snatching and wallet picking are common; this is one place where a secret stash of travelers' checks (even for committed ATM users) is a good safety net. Also, siestas -- beginning at 2 or 3 p.m. -- are still fairly common and shoppers, particularly, should be aware that many shops (except for the most touristy) will open from 9:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m., close for siesta, then reopen for a couple of hours at 5:30 p.m. Times vary, however. Museum-goers should know that many museums are closed on Mondays and operating hours can vary with no advance notice.
Best Souvenir
Designer olive oil and locally made organic honey are wonderful gifts, as is a bottle of ouzo, the licorice-flavored liquor that's a Greek treasure (at 92 proof, it's not for the faint of heart).
Don't Miss
Understand that Athens is a city of neighborhoods all pretty much centered around the Acropolis and the Parthenon. Start at Syntagma Square, and from there, wander into its neighborhoods -- of particular interest to visitors are Plaka, Kolonaki, Athens Central and Varvakios.
Athens Central
In a nutshell, the center of Athens is host not only to the city's most ancient treasures but also very much part of its contemporary life -- with locals thronging its shops and restaurants. (The University of Athens is located there, as well.)
The Acropolis
. At 2,400 years old, the Parthenon is the largest Doric temple ever completed in Greece, and it's the only one built completely (apart from its wooden roof) of Pentelic marble. Built to house the giant statue of Athena commissioned by Pericles, it also served as the treasury for the tribute money that had been moved from Delos.
: Arrive here when it opens at 8 a.m., and you'll have it to yourself. The Theatre of Dionysos is the second theater erected on the southeastern slope of the Acropolis -- the first was made of timber in the 6th century B.C. Reconstructed in stone and marble by Lycurgus between 342 and 326 B.C., the seating capacity was 17,000. Of the original 64 tiers of seats, about 20 tiers still survive. The Roman Forum (Agora) was the happening place back in the day where one could hear Socrates expounding his philosophy, or St. Paul converting the market goers to Christianity. And the Temple of Hephaestus, on the western edge of the Agora, dates from 449 B.C. and is the best-preserved Doric temple in Greece. To the northeast of the temple are the foundations of the Stoa of Zeus Eleutherios, one of the places where Socrates spoke to the masses.
Other key historic sites include the
Agora Market
(Tuesday - Sunday, 8:30 a.m. - 2:45 p.m.), which was the centerpiece of ancient Athens' city life; today it is a mix of ruins and museums.
The National Archeological Museum
(Patission 28, Monday, 12:30 - 7 p.m.; Tuesday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 7 p.m.; Saturday - Sunday, 8:30 a.m. - 7 p.m.) is an Athens showplace. It is known for its premier collection of art from eras such as the Minoan, Cycladic and Mycenaean, among others. Check out
Ermou Street
(off of Syntagma Square), an outdoor, car-free walkway that's lined with Greek and European shops. Next is the Paddas building (Venizelov at Voukourestiou streets) that's housed in an ancient building that's been gorgeously refurbished. Beyond Cartier and Dolce and Gabbana, favorites included Folli Follie, a Greek chain of boutiques selling fabulously whimsical handbags, and Balli for Cuban cigars. It also hosts Attica, the Macy's of Greece and a good place to pick up any essentials you have forgotten to pack.
The oldest part of Athens (save for the Acropolis!) is the
, a neighborhood of many identities. Centrally located, its winding and narrow streets are lined with houses and shops that date back to the 5th century B.C. During the last 170 years, Athens has been forever changing. Currently, many buildings are in the process of refurbishment and are painted in colorful shades. Cafes and restaurants abound -- many are quite touristic tavernas, but are great stops for a quick refueling. There are shops scattered throughout that pretty much sell the same type of contemporary gear you'll find elsewhere.
Shoppers often find it interesting to wander on the outskirts of Plaka and browse in its
antique shops
(look for Karaeskaki Street) in an area called Psiri; don't miss the antique-laden square, chock-full of dealers selling new, old and custom-designed furniture and tchotchkes by day. By late evening, the old buildings turn into restaurants, where bouzouki music fills the nights.
The Byzantine and Christian Museum
is in an 1848 Ilisia mansion that once belonged to the Duchess of Placentia. The collections show the course of Greek art from the 4th to the 19th centuries. One of the most important exhibits here is the sculptural group, showing Orpheus from the 4th century. (Open daily, 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Wednesday hours extended to 7 p.m. Closed Mondays. ,Vassilissis Sofias, Kolonaki.)
The Benaki Museum
is housed in founder Emmanuel Benaki's neo-Classical mansion. Its collections include icons, Greek costumes and a room from an 18th-century northern Greek house. A rooftop cafe serves light lunch, and there's a Thursday evening buffet when museum stays open until midnight. (Open Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Sunday, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. Closed Tuesdays. Koumbari, Kolonaki.)
The Museum of Cycladic Art
, located two blocks from Byzantine Museum and War Museum, is dedicated to the promotion and study of the ancient and pre-historic Greek art of the Cycladic Islands -- Nicholas and Dolly Goulandris' personal collection. (Open Monday - Friday: 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., Saturday: 10 a.m. - 3p.m.; closed Sunday and Tuesdays. 4 Neophytou Douka Str., Kolonaki.)
In ancient times, pine-covered slopes jam-packed with wolves surrounded
. These days, there are no wolves, but it does offer the finest panoramic views in Athens including the surrounding mountains and the islands of Salamis and Aegina. You can walk the path to the summit from the top of Loukianou or take the funicular from the top of Ploutarhou. This is the place for the Chapel of Agios Giorgios -- at night, it takes on a fairy tale aura from the dramatic backlighting.
. Simply wandering the narrow streets will yield bountiful finds, but Skoufa offers some lovely shops, such as Fresh Line (#10), which sells a colossal sweep of soaps sliced from big blocks as though they were cheese (the strawberries-and-cream soap contains real berries, and soap for sensitive skin is made with vanilla, milk and rice). There are numerous clothing boutiques on the same block, but the best shopping results from simply wandering around the narrow neighborhood streets. We also found a fabulous Beautyworks (Kapsali & Neofytou Douka) which sells Kiehl's beauty products and lovely English Penhaligon bath suds and lotions. Keep an eye out for utterly unique galleries and boutiques.
The neighborhood surrounding the Kotsa Plaza
is a "locals" part of the city -- it's also the sight of some ancient ruins, such as coffins, which were dug up by developers by mistake. The developers were then required to stop digging, but the coffins were just left there. The plaza itself has lovely, lush gardens.
Food enthusiasts should check out the
central market area of Athens
. Primary fascinations include a sprawling food market, where the stalls of meat wrap around the outside (and if you've never seen a lamb with its head still on or a rabbit with its head off but bobtail protruding, well, it'll make you a vegetarian in a heartbeat!). The market, which is huge, also features seafood, such as squid in all its glory (a Grecian pal told me you just boil it in its own juices and serve), organic honey, small-batch olive oil and chickens (with heads and beaks still on). Fruits and vegetables are displayed by vendors in another building across the street. An intriguing conundrum to this seemingly Victorian-era place is the flat-screen televisions, courtesy of the Korean LG, that hang off the ceiling and are tuned to Greek news channels.
Beyond the food market are numerous places to shop for those in search of flea market type stuff -- cheap T-shirts, etc. There's even a shop that sells pet chipmunks (the babies are darling and quite energetic!).
Been There, Done That
Head to
, located 55 miles from Athens. Corinth was a significant gateway to the Peloponnese; there's a more modern city and an ancient city (the latter is the one to explore). Take note of the Corinth Canal -- some smaller cruise ships still transit through there. Other sites to see include the Archeological Museum (Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 7 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. - 3 p.m.), which features Corinthian artifacts. Ancient Corinth has some surviving structures, including the Temple of Apollo and the Roman Agora.
, about 45 miles from Athens, is home to the majestic (and classical) Temple of Poseidon, open daily from 10 a.m. until sunset.
Astir Beach
, about 40 minutes from Athens, fronts the Aegean Sea on what is dubbed the "Aegean Riviera."
Take the
Flying Dolphin
from Piraeus to the picturesque island of Hydra; it's a 90-minute ride each way.
For taverna-style dining, head to Plaka; admittedly touristy, some good choices include Epato (134 Adrianou Str.) or Taverna Zorbas (15 Lissiou Str.). Eden (Misicleos at Lissiou) is a good vegetarian option. Dioyenis adds a quiet intimate flare tucked in between houses and walkways at: 1 Lisikratous Plateia, Plaka (tel.; 210-322-4845) for upscale traditional Greek cuisine and niceties without upscale price ... a Greek style to remember.
In central Athens, Ideal (46 Panepistimiou Street) is the place where the local hoi polloi lunch; on our visit, my Grecian pal pointed out such celebrities as an actress in a comedy sitcom, a bank president, a famous Bouzouki singer and a newscaster. The food is a mixture of Greek specialties (the meatballs in a spicy tomato sauce zinged with ouzo were delicious, as are the grape leaves stuffed with meat and rice) and "continental" ones (pasta carbonara). For reservations, you'll want to send an email:
Snack food, a variety of sodas, water and fresh orange juice are available at the Acropolis located in front of the ticket office prior to entrance into the site. Water and such cannot be purchased once inside; however, books and postcards are available to purchase at the front entrance next to the theater and at the small museum.
On a Shoestring:
The Hotel Cecil
has a terrific location near Plaka and clean, stylish rooms.
Great Atmosphere:
The AVA Hotel Athens
has a fantastic location in the Plaka; even better, the 24-room hotel's rates are moderate, rooms are well appointed, suites have verandahs and accommodations at the front of the hotel have views of the Acropolis. Plus, Plaka is a great neighborhood -- centrally located and full of cafes.
Total Splurge:
Athens' most famous grand hotel, the
Grande Bretagne
, has been gorgeously refurbished; ask for a balcony with a view of the Parthenon. The hotel is Old World style and features a terrific rooftop restaurant, workout facilities and grand decor.
Middle of the Road:
Many cruise lines use the
Athenaeum Inter-Continental Athens
as a pre- or post-cruise stay option. I found it disappointing because it's impersonally modern and the location is not great -- the center of the city is a cab ride away. But it has spacious rooms and a top-floor cocktail lounge with a fabulous view of the city -- plus, it has a pool. More central, and thus more preferable, is the

New Washington Post/ABC News Poll: Recovery Act Support 20% Higher Than Criticism
… there has been a notable increase in optimism about the length of the recession: Half of all Americans expect it to be over within the next 12 months. In February, just 28 percent said the recession would end that rapidly.
Obama's economic stimulus plan has come under attack from Republicans, who say it has failed to bring tangible benefits. But in the poll, almost twice as many say the program has made things better as say it has made things worse (43 percent to 23 percent), with a third saying the plan has had no effect. [Read More]
Newark Star Ledger (New Jersey) - Editorial: Some positive signs that stimulus is working
The Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government, in a report released yesterday, credited the stimulus plan, in part, with having produced a net growth of 110,000 state and local government jobs since the recession began at the end of 2007. The billions of dollars in federal stimulus money helped offset the cost-cutting pressure and layoffs all levels of government face because of tax revenue declines.
Propublica, an independent, non-profit organization devoted to public interest journalism, did a progress study of 520 of the roughly 6,000 projects approved for stimulus money …
Approximately 30 percent of the projects sampled had 'broken ground by mid-summer,' contracts had been let for at least 66 percent and put out for bid on 76 percent -- the prelude, Propublica predicted, to 'an impending gusher of stimulus work in late summer and early fall.' [Read More]
Deseret News (Utah) - Local entrepreneurs benefit from Small Business Administration program
Six months ago, Robert Adams would never have guessed that he would be the owner of a profitable small business. But thanks in part to a government program, he and his wife, Teresa, are happy to be living their American dream.
The Adamses are beneficiaries of a U.S. Small Business Administration effort funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The program appropriated $730 million dollars in funding to the agency, aimed at expanding access to investment capital for small businesses nationwide. [Read More]
Loveland Reporter-Herald (Colorado) - Ground breaks on Crossroads interchange
… the project that [Gene] Pielin, U.S. Rep. Betsy Markey and others broke ground on Thursday will, they hope, alleviate congestion and traffic problems around the busy interchange at Crossroads Boulevard in northeast Loveland.
The project is partially funded by money in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, better known as the federal stimulus package.
The project will employ 150 people directly, said Pielin, and perhaps another 400 indirectly.
"It's creating jobs," Markey said. "It's improving safety in the transportation system, and it's improving the quality of life in the area. It's really important we keep pace with our transportation infrastructure." [Read More]
WBBM-780 (Illinois) - Stimulus Money Means Real Jobs
A lot of the federal recovery funds slated for this state are for road projects. Dick Smith, the Illinois Department of Transportation's director of Planning and Programming, says yes, that money means jobs.

Smith says there have been 1332 direct jobs created, as of Wednesday.
As more contracts are awarded and construction continues, of course the number will go up. [Read More]

Teachers to focus study on own classroom for evaluation, improvement, and assessment of practice
Monday, July 09, 2012
Utilizing technology for in-class video and collaboration with faculty and fellow students, teachers will focus their principle Master of Education level research on their own teaching practice, focusing on competencies cross referenced to national, state and professional standards.
"We're providing mid-career teachers with a route to evaluate and improve their own teaching practice through guided clinical study of their own classrooms and performance," said Jonathon H. Gillette, Dean of the Graduate School of Education at Lesley University. "We're focusing on documenting improved instruction and, more importantly, student growth over time in the real world, emulating the clinical preparation of physicians and lawyers."
The new 33-credit online Master of Education in Effective Teaching combines a deep understanding of content knowledge with state-of-the-art technology, providing teachers with guided practice in their classrooms while working closely with Lesley University faculty. Participants gain concrete evidence of their improved instruction marked by their students' achievement during the 20-month program.
Lesley University faculty directly support the application of new content knowledge in the areas of assessment, classroom culture and climate, and instructional design. The technology also provides participants with manageable tools to capture what happens in the classroom and document improved performance.
"Teachers are developing their craft and their practice at a time when they're under intense scrutiny by school administration and the parents of pupils in their class, and in the culture of Race to the Top, where value is being placed on use of technology and individualization of instruction," said Gillette.
"This enormously innovative program is designed to deeply meet the needs of teachers in the field, whose performance is increasingly going to be tied to outcomes in the classroom. It's a structured program that moves from deep knowledge of content into application of that content in your classroom with support from us," said Gillette.
Lesley University, which has been a leader in teacher education for over a century, is enrolling for the new Effective Teaching M.Ed. for Fall 2012.

A pro-Russian former KGB officer has won the presidency in Georgia's breakaway region of South Ossetia and suggested he would push for the tiny territory to join Russia.
A mountainous region of about 30,000 people, South Ossetia has been at the heart of Georgia's bitter relations with Russia since breaking from Georgian control in a war in the 1990s.
Moscow recognized it as an independent nation after a brief war with Georgia in 2008. Internationally it is only recognized by Venezuela, Nicaragua and the Pacific nation of Nauru.
The victory of a Kremlin-backed candidate is certain to bolster Moscow's influence in the region as it seeks to complicate aspirations by U.S.-backed Georgia to join NATO.
However, some observers on both sides say events could drag the two countries into another war.
According to results released on Monday, Leonid Tibilov won more than 54 percent of the vote in Sunday's presidential runoff against regional human rights ombudsman David Sanakoyev.
Georgia's government dismissed the election as illegitimate, the BBC reported, calling South Ossetia "occupied" territory and saying it would urge the international community to join its criticism.
"Our position will be tough as ever and Tbilisi will address the international community for reaction," Georgian Deputy Foreign Minister Nino Kalandadze said.
Russia has a military base in South Ossetia and has spent about $1 billion supporting the impoverished region since the 2008 conflict.
"We will develop the relationship with Russia in all areas. We are aiming to make an old dream about the reunification of South and North Ossetia a reality," Tibilov, 60, told reporters on Sunday in the region's capital, Tskhinvali.
North Ossetia is part of Russia and Tibilov's call implies a de facto unification of the region with Russia.
Archive: Russia 'not afraid' of a new Cold War (2008)
Analysts however say Moscow is unlikely to push for unification soon in order to avoid antagonising Western powers, which reject South Ossetia's independence claim and would be deeply alarmed by a Russia's physical expansion.
Russia state news agency RIA Novosti said the turnoutin the small Caucasus republic of 72,000 stood at 63 percent two hours before the vote's end, far above the minimum threshold of 30 percent, the local CEC said.
Kremlin-funded television channel RT quotedGeorgi Gugava, political secretary of Georgia's opposition Labor Party, as saving Georgia's president Mikhail Saakashvili is getting ready for a war with Russia.
"The gang that is holding power is ready to continue the [August] 2008 provocation, as a result of which we lost territories and hundreds of people were killed," it quotes Gugava as saying. "Saakashvili is [planning] a provocation" in order to "involve the Russian Army" in a conflict.
Russia recently described a joint military exercise between U.S. Marines and Georgian soldiers as "provocation", according to Tbilisi English-language news site, Georgia Times.
It said the exercises were aimed at building military relations between the U.S. and the Georgians, who are training to serve in Afghanistan.
Reuters contributed to this report.

- I started reading Harry Potter because I did not like it.
What was that fuss all about, anyway?
But then well, you could guess what happened. I found myself buying one book after the other.
One thing though bothered me so much to push me (inspired, let's say) into this self-initiated project: Harry Potter's book covers design.
I couldn't help but to feel a little embarassment to be seen with the book in my hands, with all these dragons and brooms flying...I wished these book covers could be less childish and more "contemporary" ,since the public range changed so much. ( Although there is a collection of paperback Harry Potter, with more mature yet sinister covers)
In making these graphics I tried to show the magical and mysterious feeling of the story, keeping in mind crucial figures and events.
These are what I wished my books could look like, published by an equally fictive publishing company.Completed in 2009

I chronicle Africa's success stories and track its richest people
God is good, especially if you're a Nigerian pastor with some business savvy. These days, millions of souls, desperate for financial breakthroughs, miracles and healing, all rush to the church for redemption. And while the bible expressly states that salvation is free, at times it comes with a cost: offerings, tithes, gifts to spiritual leaders, and a directive to buy literature and other products created by men of God.
Pastors are no longer solely interested in getting people to Heaven; they've devised intelligent ways to make good money while reaching out to souls.
Take Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, for example. He is the founder and lead pastor of the Christ Embassy, a thriving congregation with branches in Nigeria, South Africa, London, Canada and the United States. His publishing company, Loveworld Publications, publishes 'Rhapsody of Realities,' a monthly devotional he co-authors with his wife. It sells over 2 million copies every month at $1 apiece. He also owns television stations, newspapers, magazines, a hotel, a fast-food chain, and more.
Many other Nigerian pastors are similarly building multi-million dollar empires from their churches. Today, pastors fly around in private jets, drive fancy cars like Daimlers, Porsches and BMWs, don Rolexes and Patek Phillipes, and own breathtaking mansions all over the world.
After the blog post I wrote in May about Nigerian pastors owning private jets, I was bombarded with emails from readers requesting to know the richest pastors in Nigeria. So I set out to investigate the assets of some of Nigeria's most prominent pastors, and I came up with conservative estimates of their fortunes. I contacted representatives for all of the pastors and all except Matthew Ashimolowo's representative confirmed ownership of the assets I list. Representatives for Pastor Ashimolowo did not respond to my emails.
Bishop David Oyedepo
Affiliation: Living Faith World Outreach Ministry, aka Winners Chapel
Estimated net worth: $150 million
David Oyedepo is Nigeria's wealthiest preacher. Ever since he founded the Living Faith World Outreach Ministry in 1981, it has grown to become one of Africa's largest congregations. The Faith Tabernacle, where he hosts three services every Sunday, is Africa's largest worship center, with a seating capacity of 50,000. Oyedepo owns four private jets and homes in London and the United States. He also owns Dominion Publishing House, a thriving publishing company that publishes all his books (which are often centered on prosperity). He founded and owns Covenant University, one of Nigeria's leading tertiary institutions, and Faith Academy, an elite high school.
Chris Oyakhilome
Church: Believers' Loveworld Ministries, a.k.a Christ Embassy
Estimated net worth: $30 million – $50 million
Last year, the charismatic preacher was at the center of a $35 million money laundering case in which he was accused of siphoning funds from his church to foreign banks. Pastor Chris pleaded no wrongdoing and the case was eventually dismissed. His church, Christ Embassy, boasts more than 40,000 members, several of whom are successful business executives and politicians. Oyakhilome's diversified interests include newspapers, magazines, a local television station, a record label, satellite TV, hotels and extensive real estate. His Loveworld TV Network is the first Christian network to broadcast from Africa to the rest of the world on a 24 hour basis.
Temitope Joshua
Church: Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN)
Mfonobong, just wondering if you considered the following about Winner's Chapel:
1. The 50,000 seater church auditorium has four services every Sunday. One particular Sunday, 164,000 communion elements were served
2. Winner's Chapel has 4,000 branches worldwide
3. Covenant University in only one of the universities owned. Now you also have:
-Landmark University with approx 2000 students already: http://landmarkuniversity.edu.ng/
-Kings University Abuja (Ground Breaking Ceremony was conducted last month)
4. There are over 45 Faith Academy High Schools all over nigeria, not just one
5. Kingdom Heritage Model schools (Primary Schools) was not mentioned in your article. There are over 90 of these all over nigeria
Also, the ministry now has two jets as opposed to four. Two were put up for sale last year.
Finally, see the YouTube video below:
people shud see the truth and say it and stop bein economikal wif it…why shud a church or a pastor need 4 private jets worthin over 4 billion naira each in a country where over70% of her population lives below one dollar daily? why shud a pastor drive in a convoy of 1o (asorted jeeps) na politician? i av seen dis wif my own eyes….. why shud any sincere pastor build and live in a mansion wif over 30 room? little wonder they cant boldly come up and preach against laying up treasure on earth!!!! every day people get displaced in the north as a result of bokoharam bombs, how many of them av donated money or relief materials to those affected????… if people dont want to say the truth, dey shud simply keep quiet bekoz i knw that d God i serve and the christianty that was given to us by christ is the one that shares and cares for the needy and not the one that shows affluence!!!!!!
Go and donate your own and God will bless you.
Is it not funny, who are they deceiving? Man or God? If Nigeria is estimated to be 1.7 Million including unbelievers, just a Man of God (MOG) is worth 150 Million US Dollars and yet Christians are in that church who are begging for just 20,000.00 Naria to start up a petty business for survival and yet the can't get. Let God judge.
Being an entertainment boxing promoter can be a successful career with a moderately high income if dome correctly in order to establish yourself as. Seeking investor to help build sport facility. bankroll a boxing event the reality is that in the beginning need help the cost of everything involved in a fight, like ticket sales, licensing, the ring referee and more are on you, so you need to convince others to invest by showing them that there is a high chance that they will make a profit.Third world fighter an untapped market, often i check my email and there are correspondences from boxers from asia and africa who whould like to come to the united states and train. Recruiting and managing fighter, domestic or foreign, take time and patience.It is a long term process and like any activity enough good fighters for your investment group to make money over the long haul.
Benita by name: The Bible said who are you to judge another man servant. Are these Pastors your servants or GOD's. You've not told us how many millions of $ you have stolen and in your possession, and how many souls you have destroyed through your evil informations. Are you an enemy of progress or prophet of doom. How many enterprise have you created to save the jobless, or many poor people have you consoled in the society or how many motherless baby's home or prisoners have visited or many sick people have you paid their hospital bills, how many homeless have you given a home, how many have you delivered from the spirit tormenting them. Please stop all these your nonsense and be a contributor to Nigeria and the world at large. Why are you participating in messing up this wonderful country Nigeria. Justify all you have published with documents attach. Thank you
i wonder where you got your information from for the records the saudie guy we coloured people. dangote we call him black and african the saudie guy is as asian as asian can get. as for the church how on earth are you going to call matthew asimolowo and chris okotie when you have men like enoch adeboye, fr emmanuel edeh, fr ejike mbaka, kumuyi and adefarasin
I have nothing against a clergy leaving modest and understanding that those dues and funds paid to the church is not because of how special he is but because there is the name of the Supereme "The Lord Almighty" attached to the outfit. Pastor Adeboye claiming tht RCCG does not belong to him is not been honest. he should show us the articles or association and memo of understanding lets see. In any business, the man that has the highest share quotes has a huge say and may likely earn a lot if the business is to be liquidated. If lots of Clergy's pay public first class flights to travel and still meet up appointments for teaching, why cant he. Instead of using the funds of those poor ones to maintain a private jet. I pray our God to come back very soon, there is a lot of things he has to judge and loads of questions for him. May God help us humans, mostly we africans and Nigerian.
Maybe he would cleanse the temple courts of its money changers.
Its amazing how hypocritical you all are, no one seems to bat an eyelid when reminded that the vatican/papal org is one of the richest organisation in the world,but a nigerian pastor,what does he need the money for.
Its just some foolish pple given their money ,right?
Its okay for Obama to be flying airforce one, (he works for people right,with whose money?), but a Man of God ministering to millions of people around the world is supposed to be poor and fly economy class.
Anyway its not a new thing,Jesus faced stiffer things, did you hear that in the old testament,people brought all they could to the temple,and do you know that preists were supposed to be paid from these
Most of you that criticise these people dont even believe in God in the first place, and will not batt an eyelid when non-christians do these smae thing, you will just make videos out of it(fabulous life of filthy rich billionaires)
You praise Dangote, but you refuse to acknowledge that he is a rip off,using Govt front to corner markets.
what do you know?
Face something else, all the people whose lives have changed from giving are not complaining so you people should say something else

I hate that rule! "Targeting" is subjective. If an offensive player goes low to try to get under a hit, and the contact is made prior to him getting where he's trying to get, a player is going to be unfairly ejected from a game. Defenses are being hampered from playing the game aggressively because too many "fans" don't understand the nuances of the game.
Protect the players, but don't take the aggression from the game.
